In this video I'm expelling everything you need to know about Beaujolais Nouveau
Historically Beaujolais Nouveau was always produced in the Beaujolais region to celebrate the end of the harvest. In the 1950's a couple of disturbers from Beaujolais adopted tradition to bring young Beaujolais wine to the local restaurants and wine bars in Paris.
In the early 1970's winemaker George Dubœuf created a marketing slogan Le Beaujolais Nouveau est arrivé!, which means Beaujolais Nouveau has arrived, that really caught the attention of journalist and local media and Beaujolais Nouveau became a global event.
Beaujolais Nouveau is made in Beaujolais region in between cities of Lyon and Macon and is officially produced from 1951.Beaujolais Nouvea is also called Vin Primeur as is release to the market same year as harvest. From 1985 Beaujolais Nouveau has been released on every third Thursday of November and can be sold from 12:01.
Beaujolais Nouveau is a red wine produce from the Gamay grapes only, there are three types of this wine: Beaujolais Nouveau, Beaujolais Nouveau Villages and Beaujolais Nouveau Rose. All the grapes in Beaujolais Region must be hand harvested and the key part of the Beaujolais production is fermentation called semi-carbonic maceration which means that fermentation take place inside the berries, this is why Beaujolais is very juicy and low in tannins and often showing aromas of sour cherry, strawberry, bubble gum and banana.
